8.1 Introduction
The aim of this chapter is to explore in
some depth what we mean by interdisciplinary design, and how
this relates to the Enterprise Design process. The concept of
interdisciplinary design will be illustrated by means of a simple
design study. Later in the book, in Chapters 10 and 11, we will
examine and address the interdisciplinary design of computer-based
technologies to illustrate the concept in operation in more detail.
To begin with however, we will consider why we should be interested
in interdisciplinary design. |
